No mind them, I have never seen when old men would willing be sacrificing the life of thier youths for thier dirty political games, they are hell bent on forcing us to suffer it's just so annoying, everyone must eat crumbs from their table and it's painful, the Japa never even start self , nah small small people eye don they open, if you fit leave , leave oohh these old men no won give anybody chance .

Dvdpity:
APC is totally incompetence, callous, clueless and totally destructive.
They are hell bent on killing Nigerians, all our businesses, education, any means of income and now blaming Nigerians for studies abroad, whilst they destroy Nigeria educational systems. Destroyed the naira. Honestly any one supporting APC and PDP after tinubu and atiku packaged disaster in form of Buhari on Nigerians, is totally a Fool who is not tired of suffering.

I know it will soon come to this...old fools, make we they naija they roast when una they live the life abi?, Una never see anything more people will leave after the election, make una try una self make we see.
The one when PDAPC share for convention no put pressure on the naira abi?

It's easy to tithe in societies where taxes are low or hardly enforceable like naija even when the arguments wether daddy freeze or 'other' Nigerian pastors is correct continues..
Now my question is this in a place like UK where as a basic earner you pay 20% tax a month and you still need to pay NI contribution and pension contributions, the question is, will it still be possible to pay an additional 10% of your gross salary as tithe?
Now bear in mind that these deductions are before your living expenses.

Chai and Army barracks just dey by the side of the road ooh!!!

Deal with the irregular extortion at the airport..e dey frustrate our japaing.,!

Una go they tell us how to us how to spend our money...tell us how are we going to generate this money, start from there first!!

I have said it countless times you can't curb inflation in you don't follow the money...if not you increase interest rate tire...let's see if these new bills will not be distributed for the elections..

This Brexit, COVID and Ukraine war really messed up the UK economy ...

take it easy man....some women love sex at particular time, position and get sexually satisfied in different ways take time to study what she really enjoy maybe you may have adjust a little, you can also sit her down and have a honest conversation with her...I'm suspecting the marriage is fairly new if it is it's normal for those arguments to occur and as regards not doing anything to generate money I hope you have discussed with her or ask her to know her skill set and try to encourage her rather than talking her down or calling her names .
It's normally especially in the first year of marriage especially when the courtship period was quite short.

Slow poison mixed with low IQ...if my biography pain you well well you for tell me your own... broke ass nigga

omonnakoda:
Weak on the inside tough on the outside
No one asked you your biography homo boy. You have that faggy smell about you. Too much explanation
STFU

No one cares but my response pain you die,...you've been drooling over my response., , The swear when them swear for you na im they affect you so..slow poison..
The topic is a self reality check, that's why I had to personalize it to explain that the rule does not apply to everyone but of course you felt slighted and the reason for your outburst..I think say you get mouth.
Employee wey mumu.

omonnakoda:
Today? page 20? That is too short
If you stop talking on this thread before Buhari leaves office it will not be well with you
Do not talk like an idiot. Make an effort


I see you have internal quarrel and are looking for how to externalize it

This thread is about rent

All that empty talk about yourself is unnecessary. No one cares

I know your type so I'm not surprised..you are nothing but a slow poison...your response says a lot about you,...you wan Japa with this your low IQ...so the the ability for people to earn more in life should be based on rent? And those that don't earn as much make them die or because of rent person no go they ambitious again?
You dull I swear no wonder you dey use cup of rice they measure your salary.
Today me and you alone go reach page 20

omonnakoda:
Empty and unintelligent talk
In your mind you are the great entrepreneur and the rest of Nigerians are just lazy and stupid?

Get lost idiot ...does your reality also include this your low IQ?.. you they irritate person I swear.., I stayed on the topic explaining that I used up almost everything I had to rent a place to start life afresh so but for anything it should inspire people especially does that can't meet up with rent and they have saved up some money if they can they should take the leap of faith but those that can't should remain in employment what is wrong in encouraging people to be entrepreneurs, you don't have to be working somewhere and be checking from time to time whether your salary for two months don pass your annual rent it's unrealistic, how many people two months salary go cover their rent annually for naija?
You just they insult person as if nah me put you for the one you dey. If you no like my response just Waka pass, reality kill you there..ODE.
I don ready for you idiot.

omonnakoda:
I You sound like a fool
Coming here tp tell us your biography . Who ask you story?

So you want others to feel bad at all cost? The reason they are all suffering is they are not like you?

All they need to do is be like you and they will be fine?

Guess what Mr Entrepreneur most Nigerians are not as you say they should be
Most do not have savings or any means of saving .That is the bitter reality in Nigeria today.

The subject matter here is rent but somehow you managed to shift it to your biography

Nobody ask you

STFU

You are now sounding like a sadist., You want want me to feel bad at all cost for having my own opinion, I don explain tire, my reality is different so the OP should not generalize , you have been you using offensive words as part of your response and I have told you to free the argument and let's discuss the topic you don't know me and I don't know you.
If selling gala, selling plantain and selling orange is degrading in your reality then so be it.
And I ask again what your response to the topic?

omonnakoda:
I am not trying to force you to do anything
You can do what you like

It is not my reality

Life is a pyramid

Everybody cannot be an entrepreneur and in Nigeria the odds are heavily against it

That is why our people japa all the time

Trying to tell us
Look at me I quit my job blablabla

is pure egotism with very little empathy for the agony that is the reality of out people

The kind of thing one expects from an autistic person with ZERO EMPATHY

No one wants to sell Gala in traffic

Na condition make crayfish bend

It's not about ego, I responded to the topic .,I had to role play and use myself as an example...the truth is that you are trying to force me to see this your reality and I just can't, anyways let's leave this argument and back to the topic do you agree with the topic?

omonnakoda:
If anyone is getting things mixed up it is you
You are the one with an ego trying to make it about you and how great you are

Well Not everyone is as great as you and not everyone wants what you think they should want

Reality is most people in this world will be employees not just Nigeria

THAT IS REALITY

Starting a business /becoming an entrepreneur is unrealistic for most people . Reality not theory.
It has no immediate bearing on the problem at hand for 99.9999% of the population

It is just laptop talk

Ooh so I see were you are getting everything mixed up,..we are on the same page, as the topic is biased towards those currently in employment and those seeking to remain in employment, besides the reality of today is that people are grossly underpaid, so many newly employed graduates cannot even rent a face me I face you in cities like Lagos and any attempt to do this might almost eat up large chunk of their salary, so is the op suggesting that people should not work? remain homeless on the street? and for those that are willing to take the risk start up something with the little they have?...these are my questions?.. nobody will allow you quart with them unlike before due to the high cost of feeding, so what should people do if they earn less amount of money?..
but for anything this topic is trying to downplay the effort of young Nigerians trying to be independent out there..it's demeaning to say the least.

omonnakoda:
Reality
Is that people do not

TODAY

have the mindset you are preaching

Most Nigerians

are NOT entrepreneurs

So that is what you think SHOULD BE

Not what

IS

You keep shouting the "REALITY" so what's the reality?

omonnakoda:
You seem determined to tell us about yourself

Nigeria has 200 million people and their reality is DESPERATE

Not all this rubbish you are typing here

I do not know what people should do
THEORY

I know what they do

REALITY

Stop talking about what is not going to happen anytime soon and talk about what is happening right now

This logic doesn't make any sense because as you said " reality is different for most Nigerians"...no matter how little we earn we should all look at the bigger picture in life , in my first job I was being paid =N=6,800 a month .e shock you?, my rent and light bill was half of that, so as you can see this logic will keep you stuck in a false reality for the rest of your life.

omonnakoda:
Nothing wrong with roasting plantain if it generates good income
Most people doing it are poor and are not business role models

You seem to live in a world or theory and fantasy not the real Nigeria

I am talking reality as it is today


Not theory how it should be

How many people can rent a 4 bedroom house roasting plantain?

Whatever you think you need to change is just cheap talk

Reality is different for most Nigerians

So what is wrong in roasting plantain and hawking oranges, we need to change this " employee' mindset as much as we can that's the new reality, graduates are now being paid 30k or less a month so how 60k a year house go be?..,get my point I'm not saying people should not be employed or if people choose to remain in employment for the rest of their life, I'm only questioning the logic of it and if I had gone by this logic I won't be where I am today..

omonnakoda:
Reality

Most people will be employees for the rest of their lives

well over 80% of the population

No matter your ideals as an individual the reality of the population is what it is
Most people cannot be entrepreneurs unless we include those roasting Plantain and hawking oranges
Your biography is interesting but is not reality or realistic for most people

Lol!., most of this thread wey dey on code they encourage people to be employees for the rest of their life is damn irritating..dull logic if I must say, people may be willing to pay a little more just because of proximity, it may even be required for their career growth etc..the most important question is " are you getting value for what you paid for?"..as an employee I saved up some money resigned and rented a place with almost 70% of my savings then (three bedroom apartment) then adopted the India model, I used my palour and two rooms to start up my business I really struggled at first but the business stared growing and in six months time I had three staff and today the rest is history..my point is there is no formula that can guarantee things will work the way you expect, what if you lose that job?..all you have to do is to try and save the best way you can but if you are ambitious and you have a career ahead of you these benchmark will make your salaried income to be a bottleneck for growth!!

If the thing never happen to someone close to you hmmm ...you no go know wetin they sup...my close pall cousin was kidnapped in ondo state the two guys that delivered the ransom were killed on the spot and still killed the guy kidnapped...nah wedding this guy go attend ooh... all I know be say 2023 will reshape naija..

Eagle360:
The rate of kidnapping in this country is crazy, kidnappers even kills victims after collected a ransom and we have a President would do not give a f.u.ck.

I have always asked myself that in the six years I spent in Deloitte, I never heard of Tinubu as being a former staff as I joined the audit firm in 2001, with Hammond handing over to Odubogun as managing partner,..I mean not even in the grapevine, at least I heard
of Obi ezekwesili but not once I heard of Tinubu, I know it's Deloitte U.S but as a sitting governor then we for use am they brag,..well what do I know?

TheGift:
Stop trying to confuse the issue by shifting the goal post. Nobody has said anything about "Contractors" ? Or did Tinubu say He was a "Contractor" ? NO!!!

P.S I am neither Ibo nor an Obidient. See your self? Mr hasty generalization!

By the time our public service move from due process audit to value for money (VFM) audit we will see start to see real change... telling us our roads have expired without telling us how you spent spent your budgetary allocations...the same thing in NNPC people are in top positions in this country collecting fat salaries even going on holidays abroad just for complaining that things are not working morning till night..ASUU they house for months them won still collect full pay...paddy paddy government!!

Lies all lies...una think say everybody nah mugu for this country...just watch during election na this same new money them go share... foolish old men.

Other nations are working their butts off, investing heavily in science and technology, education and encouraging large scale production but here you want us to worship God to achieve change...the Israelites worshipped God and fought physical battles to get their inheritance..it's work and pray!!

If west Africa is not cursed how can a party that failed woefully after they promised us " CHANGE"..is preparing for a re-election and they are telling us to prepare for worse times ahead?..what can be worse than what people are going through now?? when two of my siblings were kidnapped in one year and I received calls from these kidnappers I begged and begged them for their release but they kept calling outrageous amount until a ransom amount was paid in millions at that moment I knew APC played all of us ...if them remove subsidy without providing subsidized transport, Nigeria go shut down for their very own eyes... useless old men!!!

ambale:
Brace up for what exactly? More shege dan the buhaaris government has shown us

Zero achievements and he's talking about hard times like we are not in harder times

I can't travel in peace from lagos to Ibadan, what can be harder than that?

Make ina just relax and carry una useless government comot for here

To pay tax of $460,000 in the U.S in the 90's he must have made around $1,642,857 as investment income/gains using the rate of 28% which was the rate as at that time , this will also mean that the amount invested would be around $20m+ because the highest return on investment around that time was 7%, so the question is how did he amass $20m+, where did all this income come from?...I have always admire how he strategize in politics but the tax excuse is a no no...

When will west Africa start to build things on its own even if we don't get it right the first time, we will get it over time ( the learning curve effect)...at least we can do reverse engineering...look at all the flyovers built in portharcourt none, I mean none to an indeginious company like Gomene construction and the rest...we just have to start from somewhere...

if I may ask how do you want the BDC to be restructured?. These are registered businesses if they have access to so much dollars it's because there are so many untraceable dollar transactions in the system which is mostly fueled by politicians...and understand this UK is redesigning it's currency because they have a new king unlike Nigeria that is re-designing to mop up excess cash in the system..just watch out few weeks to the election the Naira will appreciate and depreciate further after the election,..some of these politicians are BDC owners.. if Nigeria cannot track the dollars in it's circulation then we will pay dearly for it,this is one of the reasons Jonathan lost his election...if Obi does not track the dollars in our economy he will still fail..

SunMusk:
The United Kingdom is going to design it own currency removing the queen and change it to King Charles, if not evil our country is why will the redesign of naria causes it to lose value, I'm not economist but I chose not to believe that narrative, our currency has been in a free fall this year even before the announcement. They re those in the government or top places that is benefiting from this business. Let them restructure the bdc, there is dollar in Nigeria but y is it the aboki that is getting it and at the result killing the naria. Nigeria is evil country, re we importing bread too look at the price of bread, it didn't even reflect the price of fuel or gas thy use to produce it. Every one is increasing price even though there no is direct impact from the naria. I'm waiting to see how Peter Obi will change this system.

Some people just they talk wetin them no Sabi...'they should prescribe them' as in how?..BDC operators full the streets of central London so what are they talking about?...just make people not to have have interest in these foreign currency simple...these politicians will destroy this country to a point of no return, I remember when a politician in Nigeria suggested that out budget should be written in Dollars...now in trying to solve a problem you further exacerbate the problem by redesigning the naira, making people to hoard more dollars and increasing the scarcity..the problem is coming from the dollar flow that took place during the party convention there is a huge gap as most of these money have been stored in paper form and unspent so it has distorted the circular flow of money...so we the citizens will have to pay for it by experiencing higher inflation and high level of interest rate...it's a no brainer!!

linearity:
The blame should be pointed at CBN who is enabling & funding their existence!

If CBN start making dollar available at our local branch and at the rate they are selling to their friends and cronies, BDCs will die a natural death the next day.

The government should stop harassing it's citizen after they failed to do what is needed,..there is scarcity of dollars and the ongoing hoarding of the Naira, they know were the money is so they should stop these illegal move, what is stopping them from arresting those BDC operators at the airport? Abi nah official rate them they use??..a politician will be allowed to withdraw dollars and naira in (=N=) billions equivalent una go pretend as if it's normal, shebi Dem honour you by buying presidential form for you,..the e- transactions una introduce who go use am??..last last we all go dey alright.
